Reviewed: Alto-Edge GN3 Desktop Microphone [HD]

[Mytouch4gUploader]

is that an HP pavilion DV7

that is the same design of mines

[em7dim9]

That's an XLR jack on the back of the base, meaning the mic is mono, not stereo. The cable itself is an XLR-to-3.5mm adapter, which means that if the 3.5mm plug is stereo, then it will either have the same mono signal on both sides, or only have sound on one side.

[marquesbrownlee]

I'm getting same sound on both sides. Works perfectly.

hey nice review man. this mic look pretty impressive.

does it just plug into the normal usb or audio hookup in the back of your pc?

also, do you need a soundcard for this, or would onboard work good as well?

[marquesbrownlee]

This mic is for the normal audio hook-up

No need for any fancy sound cards, this one's just plug and play!

[noskool319]

ok thanks man, ordered one for myself :D

[BDogbz]

Don't want to sound like a noob, but is it compatible with MAC? Also, do you have a use a mixer with it?

[marquesbrownlee]

It's compatible with Macs :)

You don't have to use a mixer with it to use it. but I do :)

[BDogbz]

What type of mixer. Does it sound the same without one?

[marquesbrownlee]

It's another Alto-edge mixer - it sounds the same, though

[AaronDuggan1]

[AnimationFreak92]

[chinner2003]

Awesome review!  FYI this mic is used a lot when it comes to legal proceedings, professional forum discussions, etc. A USB mic is also available from AltoEdge which is the same build but a different connection to your PC.

[BoschTV]

Cool video Marques.

~BTV

[metsfaninct]

Good review.

[metsfaninct]

XLR is the connection in the back fo the mic

[xPivotMaker]

Okay, nice mic. =)

[tcpnet]

you realize that the sound quality using the two mics in the dv7 is better than the external mic u are using. Or is it just me? Change your setting to aggressive beam forwarding so ur mics in ur laptop work better and pick up very little external noise.

[MacManiaTutorials]

nice video, your videos that you've used this on have been superior to your previous videos

-Devon

[ypanquef]

[TechAndTutorials]

[TechAndTutorials]

Whaaaaaat, so what if I am acting cheap, my dad ain't (I am from Texas, just kidding.) going to buy me all this video making stuff, he says, you buy it, I want other things like camera's, I had to spend $399.99 on a camcorder, with my money, come on, I am just a little kid that is almost 12.

[kingcon95]

[CompAssist101]
